Chapter 308: It Turned Out to Be Fooled
Rubbing her sweet sleeping face, Bai Shengrui's eyes were full of love, he looked at her face greedily, guarding her and refusing to sleep.
The dozen or so men of the light cavalry battalion were divided into two shifts to stand guard, and as soon as the ugly hour passed, the people who changed shifts and kept watch woke up and replaced the people who were on duty in the first half of the night.
The new ones still had a sleepy look on their faces, and they couldn't concentrate completely for a while, so their vigilance was weaker.
Unbeknownst to them, there were several dark shadows hiding in the grass not far from them.
The men stared closely at the movement here, and one of the big men said to the short and fat man next to him: "There is something wrong with the general, I see that those people look like light cavalry battalions." ”
After taking a closer look, General Humpty also twisted his eyebrows, and said a little confused: "Yes, it's from the light cavalry battalion, how can they appear here?" ”
"Could it be to protect the princess?" The big man was a little worried and said, "When we move for a while, if we encounter them in the way, they are all our own brothers, and it is really difficult to start." ”
"Alas, it doesn't matter, if there is a real fight, I will persuade them not to participate, and if they insist on refusing, then don't blame us for not talking about brotherhood."
The Humpty Dumpty General had already made up his mind to get rid of Yan Lingyue.
After the guards of the light cavalry battalion patrolling the night dispersed, the short and fat general who was hiding in the grass waved his hand lightly, and the personal soldiers he brought with him immediately leaned in the direction of Wanyan Lingyue.
Because there was a tree blocking Bai Shengrui's figure, yes, the short and fat generals didn't know that Bai Shengrui was here.
"Up." The Humpty Dumpty General let out a sudden low snort. As soon as the order was given, his own soldiers drew their swords one after another.
Bai Shengrui heard the strange noise, and immediately became vigilant, he quietly took the long sword beside him, and prepared to give the enemy a sudden blow when he appeared.
At this moment, the sound of horses' hooves suddenly came, and then a woman's voice was heard, "Lord be careful, there is an ambush here." ”
As soon as this voice came out, several people on General Humpty Dumpty's side and Bai Shengrui's side were shocked.
Bai Shengrui knew that this voice had already startled the snake, and the assassins hiding in the shadows would definitely fight hard.
Wanyan Lingyue was also awakened by this voice, and quickly sat up, glanced at Bai Shengrui, Bai Shengrui whispered to her: "You hide here, don't move, I'll take a look." ”
The sound of swords colliding in the distance was already sounding, and the men led by the Humpty Dumpty General were already fighting with the men of the light cavalry battalion.
The people on the short and fat general's side were already weak-hearted, and when they suddenly saw Bai Shengrui flashing out from behind the big tree, they were all frightened and stunned, and they were all captured without much effort.
Bai Shengrui held the sword tightly in his hand, but it was not his turn to make a move at all, he walked to the side of several black-clothed people who were stopped by the guards, looked at it by the light of the torch, was stunned, and blurted out, "It's you, General Zhou?" ”
"It's the last general." General Zhou didn't know that he had fallen into a catastrophe, and he still thought that as long as he made it clear to the prince, the prince would definitely not blame.
So when he answered Bai Shengrui's culture, there was no expression of fear and worry on his face.
The assassin was so calm and fearless as General Zhou, and Bai Shengrui saw it for the first time, so he laughed angrily: "You are so bold that you dare to come and assassinate." It seems that you are also a rebel general Hu Dahai. Hidden deep enough, this king was almost deceived by you. ”
As soon as he heard that Bai Shengrui equated himself with the traitorous party, General Zhou hurriedly shook his head desperately and said, "No, the prince, the last general is not here to assassinate the prince, the last general is here to ......."
Before he could finish his words, he was cut off by the voice of the woman who had warned him earlier, "He's lying, don't believe him." ”
Bai Shengrui only remembered at this time that it was this woman who spoke out to disturb these assassins. He hurried to find his reputation, and saw two lightly dressed women standing in the grass.
He recognized both of them, one was Princess Jingyun, and the other was her personal maid Cailing.
"Why are you here?" Bai Shengrui frowned suspiciously, staring at them.
As soon as General Zhou saw Princess Jingyun, his face immediately overflowed with joy, "It turned out to be Princess Jingyun, you can explain it for the last general." ”
Bai Shengrui squinted his eyes slightly and looked at General Zhou, and then at Princess Jingyun, and suddenly smelled a smell of conspiracy.
Princess Jingyun stepped forward and snorted coldly at General Zhou, "Shameless villain, you intend to assassinate the prince, but unfortunately my maidservant heard it, so we hurried to warn the prince." Fortunately, the prince is safe and sound, and your treacherous plan has not succeeded. ”
Her words were impassioned, so that General Zhou couldn't help but be stunned and stunned, and he didn't understand what was going on for a long time, why did Princess Jingyun turn her face when she said it?
As soon as he was in a hurry, he stammered, "You, you, you ......" and didn't say the words behind your words for a long time.
Jing Yun smiled coldly and said, "Why was it debunked by me, speechless?" Saying that, she turned around and approached Bai Shengrui, and said in a low voice: "The prince is such a treacherous person, fortunately he found it in time, otherwise the consequences would be unimaginable, and I asked the prince to make a decision as soon as possible and kill him to boost the prince's prestige." ”
"There's no hurry." Bai Shengrui was not a person who could be easily seduced, he could see that General Zhou seemed to have something to say, but he couldn't say it.
In addition, he didn't believe Princess Jingyun, because he didn't immediately bring General Zhou to justice as Princess Jingyun said.
Princess Jingyun saw that Bai Shengrui was unmoved, afraid that the time would drag on for a long time, so General Zhou said something that should not be said, so she glanced at Cailing, and Cailing immediately understood.
Then Jing Yun deliberately provoked General Zhou and said: "I'm afraid that the prince has already betrayed him, maybe there are still his comrades around here who have not appeared, if you don't kill him at this time, it will leave a chance for his comrades to save him." ”
General Zhou was pressed to the ground with his hands cut back, he struggled desperately, and wanted to scold in his mouth, but the more anxious he was, the more he stuttered, so he could only stare at Jing Yun with burning eyes.
"Can't be killed." Wanyan Lingyue walked out quickly from the back of the big tree, she walked to Bai Shengrui's side, glanced at Princess Jingyun who was bewitching with dissatisfaction, and continued, "This matter has not yet been found out, so how can you kill people rashly, if there is a hidden secret, how can you kill General Zhou in vain." ”
It wasn't until this time that General Zhou came back to his senses, and Wanyan Lingyue, who he was bent on getting out, turned out to be the one who came to help him at a critical moment.
It was he who looked at Yan Lingyue with guilt and gratitude.
"Sister, can't you be a woman's kindness at this time, he is an assassin, if you really indulge him because of this benevolence, and turn around and hurt the prince, what should you do?" Jing Yun looked completely thinking about Bai Shengrui, and went toe-to-toe with Wanyan Lingyue.
At this time, General Zhou couldn't bear it anymore, he burst out with brute force, broke away from the guards who suppressed him, and rushed towards Princess Jingyun, shouting in his mouth, "I, I, I...... Kill...... Kill ......"
Princess Jingyun hurriedly threw herself into Bai Shengrui's arms and shouted coquettishly; "Lord save me."
